Never ending flick though arrays by using next() / prev()

$ npm install array-flick

const Flick = require('array-flick');

const flick = new Flick(1,2,3)

flick.next(); // 1
flick.prev(); // 3
flick.random() // one of 1,2,3

Note there is also a setter for randomFn. again, useful for testing / seeding. Look at the specs to learn more.

Behaves like an Array with next and prev methods added.

When writing database seeders and tests this expressiveness-sugar helps to make the intentions of the program easily recognizable.

Type: Integer Default: 1

How many steps to flick forward. Defaults to 1.

const names = new Flick('Jim', 'Fin', 'Lin');

names.next()  // Jim
names.next(2) // Lin
names.next(2) // Fin

Type: Integer Default: 1

How many steps to flick backwards. Defaults to 1.

const names = new Flick('Jim', 'Fin', 'Lin');

names.prev()  // Lin
names.prev(2) // Jim
names.prev(2) // Fin

const xos = new Flick(...(Array(99).fill('x').concat('o')));
xos.randomFn = () => 0.999; // generate your own (seeded) random floats 0..1 here
xos.random() // 'o'

Returns a random entry

Useful for reproducible random return values, for example with the help of seedrandom
